Weight Watchers FAQ

What is the new WW Freestyle program?

The WW Freestyle program builds on our incredibly effective SmartPoints® system and bumps up the benefits even more! The new program guides you towards go-to foods called zero Points® foods. Zero Points foods have (you guessed it) a SmartPoints value of zero, so no need to track!

How do SmartPoints® work?

SmartPoints are one easy-to-use number that’s based on calories, saturated fat, sugar and protein. Every food and drink is assigned a SmartPoints value. On the SmartPoints plan, foods that are higher in sugar and/or saturated fat are higher in SmartPoints; foods higher in protein are lower in SmartPoints.

You can probably guess what’s higher in SmartPoints: fried foods, pastries, sugar-sweetened beverages. But lean proteins that are lower in unhealthy fats — like chicken breast, tuna, and firm tofu — will be lower in SmartPoints.

What can I eat on the SmartPoints plan®?

The most common question we get at Weight Watchers is "What do I eat?" or "What should I eat?" And the answer is, "It’s totally up to you — nothing is off limits." Want the most bang for your SmartPoints buck? Stick to foods that are higher in protein and lower in sugar and saturated fat. It’s all about making the plan work for you. You can still eat your favorite snacks and sweets — you choose which ones are worth it!

How has the SmartPoints® food plan changed on the new Freestyle™ program?

There are even more zero Points® foods, giving you the peace of mind that there’s always room in your Budget for a tasty and filling meal. Less counting and tracking. Now you don’t have to weigh, measure, or count the foods that have been added to the zero Points food list!You can now roll over up to 4 unused SmartPoints each day so that you have greater flexibility later in the week (especially for a special occasion, restaurant meal, or any way you see fit).The SmartPoints value system remains the same and is based on the same four nutrients: calories, saturated fat, sugar, and protein.

What are SmartPoints®?

SmartPoints are one easy-to-use number that’s based on calories, saturated fat, sugar and protein. Every food and drink is assigned a SmartPoints value. On the SmartPoints plan, foods that are higher in sugar and/or saturated fat are higher in SmartPoints; foods higher in protein are lower in SmartPoints.
